Today, as you no doubt guessed chartanatics, is all about The Brits effect. Deep breath now. Are you ready?

GaGa's 'Born This Way' is still in the lead and being chased by Jessie J and B.o.B.'s 'Price Tag', but Adele's 'Someone Like You' - No.1 on iTunes, don't you know - has zoomed all the way into the top three.

Chipmunk and Chris Brown's 'Champion' and Adele's own 'Rolling In The Deep' complete the top five, with JLS and Tinie Tempah's 'Eyes Wide Shut' and Rihanna's 'S&M' right behind.

Pink's 'F**kin Perfect' has slipped back to #11 again, while Far East Movement and Ryan Tedder's 'Rocketeer' is at unlucky-for-some #13.

The two Glee remakes inside this week's top 40 - 'Teenage Dream' and 'Start Me Up' / 'Livin' On A Prayer' - have both dropped a spot since yesterday, but remain inside the top 35.

And two outside the top 35? Take That's 'Kidz'.

Adele's 21 remains atop the albums chart, with Bruno Mars' Doo Wops and Rihanna's Loud right behind, but Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More has climbed to fourth following its Brits victory.

Adele's 19 is still just inside the top five, meaning PJ Harvey's Let England Shake is now just outside - and being chased by Tinie Tempah's Disc-Overy and Plan B's Strickland Banks, both of which are back in the top ten.

'Someone Like You' at three already... is anyone else thinking what we kind of think we might be thinking? You know, maybe like.
